Dr. Schachter has been my urologist since June 2014 when a trip to the ER revealed a mass on my kidney which turned out to be cancer.  Using DaVinci robotic surgery, Dr. Schachter was able to resect the tumor leaving the rest of my kidney intact.  His bedside manner is wonderful- truly kind and takes the time to answer ALL your questions.  He is on time for appointments, returns calls/inquiries promptly, and his office staff are are courteous and helpful.  I never have to call to follow up on anything because Dr. Schachter and his staff are always on the ball.  I am truly thankful for having such a skilled doctor so close to home, he is a lifesaver!
